The iPhone doesn't need CTO approval.
In the past 6 months I've seen more and more iPhones at work. Basically, people are taking the attitude : I will use what I want to use. Especially since many companies are cutting back on support for Blackberrys.
But we must remember that big business because of support cost, unit cost, etc. Is rarely at the forefront of technology these days.
As a matter of fact, in the past seven to nine years innovation has really come on the consumer side first and then maybe incorporated by big business.
In short, the iPhone's could and will be a great success story san big business. After all, for every big business there are a 1,000 smaller, more agile businesses- this is Apple needs to focus. Not the corner office. After all how many corners are there to a building?
